The Fallout 76 of today is a far cry from the sparsely populated wasteland it was at launch. In the six years since Bethesda's open-world multiplayer survival RPG launched to a decidedly lukewarm response, the team has worked hard to transform it into a vibrant playground for post-apocalyptic shenanigans. With the Milepost Zero update currently in testing on the PTS, PCGamesN sat down with lead producer Bill LaCoste and creative director Jon Rush to talk about how its new caravans are just the addition it needs.
August 3, 2024: We've added two new Monopoly Go dice links for free dice rolls.
How can I get Monopoly Go free dice links? The household favorite board game has been reimagined as a free-to-play app on smartphones, allowing everyone to experience the thrills of Monopoly on practically any device. Everything that makes the board game special is here in Monopoly Go, so you'll be collecting properties and building hotels as you go around the board, and there are a variety of multiplayer minigames to get through along the way.
You're going to need to get your hands on Monopoly dice rolls, but they are difficult to come by no matter how far you are into the board game. There are ways to earn additional dice rolls, including logging into the game every day to collect daily bonuses, progressing further in the game, and inviting friends to try Monopoly Go. While you can also spend real money to unlock more dice rolls, you may want to give our list of Monopoly Go dice links a try instead, especially if you're waiting for the next Monopoly Go Golden Blitz event. Take a look at all the currently active Monopoly Go free dice links for today.
It's a great time to be a fan of big robots and mechs alike. Elden Ring creator FromSoftware proved that there's still plenty of life in the genre with Armored Core 6, and now another of the biggest names in the business is set to make a comeback soon with Mechwarrior 5: Clans. As if that weren't enough evidence, the Mecha Break playtest, which has just launched in a limited form on Steam, shows just how much potential interest there is in the upcoming game from Amazing Seasun.
Between Minecraft, Roblox, Dreams, and Gmod there are plenty of creative ways to make your own games. You can learn the basics and be off to the races, sharing animations, game modes, and unique experiences with absolutely anyone. For those games, though, the act of creation is almost entirely locked into their own ecosystem, so Sandbox wants to change that. A spiritual successor to Gmod from Facepunch Studios, the team just made Sandbox open to all for the first time. It was so popular that it broke.
A quaint town sits nestled among mountains and green hills. Colorful birds flit from tree to tree, and fish swim up rivers of sapphire blue water. The citizens of Mistria go about their days, wandering from shop to shop, each a colorful character in their own right. And while Fields of Mistria may look like your run-of-the-mill farming simulator, it seems to be much, much more than that.
The genre Fields of Mistria occupies is undoubtedly one of my favorite in games. I became enchanted with the Harvest Moon series through Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life as a child, and dabbled in the likes of Stardew Valley, Rune Factory, Palia, and more. When Fields of Mistria crossed my radar a few years ago, I was immediately intrigued, even if it was just a few bits of character artwork here and there. Because while these games are functionally the same in their mechanics, nothing quite looks like Fields of Mistria.

The sprite work for the characters is deliciously detailed and remind me of when I used to comb through Yuu Watase manga like Imadoki! or Alice 19th. It has that mid-90's to early 2000's appeal, and isn't afraid to wear these inspirations on its sleeve. Juniper, the resident bathhouse owner, who's laugh is a direct reference to a popular trope, that you'd see in a series like Sailor Moon or other popular shoujo manga and anime of that time. Fields of Mistria seems to embrace these aesthetics and weave them into the game, with characters fulfilling specific archetypes. And because it doesn't shy away from that, it makes Fields of Mistria all the stronger.
You more or less know what you're going to get with each character, as their personalities generally correspond with their looks. At least based on what I experienced. And there isn't anything wrong with that. These "anime" archetypes exist for a reason, and are popular. Olric is a part-time shop assistant, which is evident by his character portrait, whereas March the blacksmith immediately reads as standoffish with his tilted head and frown. There's something appealing to this, mostly because it feels familiar. It could turn off some that are looking for something that might subvert those expectations, but because these things are so immediately nostalgic for me, I can't help but be sucked in.
Even small social interactions with characters feel fresh and fun. This is because characters in Fields of Mistria interact with one another in casual conversations. When you approach NPCs standing around each other, there is a chance that they'll be chatting among themselves. On Friday, the local tavern has the residents of Mistria piling in to drink and play card games, and this makes the town feel alive. Everyone has their own habits, but relationships with each other that exist outside of you. However, I did wish the dialogue options you could pick for your responses wouldn't bounce between an extreme over-eagerness or "sassy" responses that come off as a little corny.

Because even if the first few hours of Fields of Mistria are somewhat slow, with you needing to progress through several days and a myriad of side quests to actually gain access to all of your tools, the game is oddly comfortable. The characters, predictable as they are, are fun to talk to, and the general game flow is slow but steady. It's clear the developers want you take your time, as interacting with the world and all of its systems, like farming and fishing and gathering materials, net you essence. Essence is used to unlock skills in a skill tree, which is an interesting implementation, but some of these passives are great for restoring stamina without forcing the player to cook dishes or call it a day early.
You can of course, do a plethora of things during the day and even the night. There are collectables you can turn into the museum to unlock additional cosmetics. You can fish and farm to your heart's content. You can rear animals and craft furniture and other things to help out on your farm. All of these things exist in other farming simulators, but Fields of Mistria does have some ease of access when it comes to checking what items you've donated to the museum or what each crop sells for. There is also a cave you can explore if you'd rather do away with farming for the day. But all of these things come together in a way that makes the time management of Fields of Mistria fun, and not too overwhelming. You don't need to min-max your day to have a good time, and requests from NPCs aren't timed. Which means you aren't frantically trying to collect whatever the local innkeeper or carpenter is yearning for on a random Tuesday.
There is enough iteration on the formula to make Fields of Mistria interesting and engaging. And while I am only in the first ten or so hours of the game, I've grown to really like it after getting over that initial hurdle. I can't wait to spend more hours just fiddling with these systems and unlocking more cooking recipes and fishing while curled up under my blankets with my Steam Deck in my hands. (Yes, Fields of Mistria works on Steam Deck, and has controller support.) And I especially can't wait to see what the developers have cooked up and will include in the game once it eventually releases in full.
Fields of Mistria will enter Early Access on August 5, 2024. It will release on PC through Steam.

As the Ark Survival Ascended Aberration DLC creeps closer, developer Studio Wildcard lifts the lid on another accomplice joining the roster. Arriving alongside the new expansion pack, which is currently scheduled for the start of September, this cutesy critter will be available to players who have purchased the Bob's Tall Tales add-on for the dinosaur survival game, and it feels like a make-good for people sad that a similar option missed out on the community Aberration creature vote.
Nexon has issued a mysterious warning to players who take advantage of The First Descendant's broken systems, especially if they're being used to farm for extra resources. After players were left confused by Nexon's plans for the 'Valby Run' gold farm, this talk of system exploits being "abnormal gameplay behavior" presents another potential pitfall for the looter shooter.

HoYoverse's latest gacha adventure is a free PC game, and as our Zenless Zone Zero review attests, there's a lot of currency and materials to gather. HoYoverse periodically release ZZZ codes for their gacha games that coincide with major updates and livestreams, but the developer also loves to stealth drop codes, too. Now that Zenless Zone Zero is finally here, there are a ton of redeem codes waiting for you to scoop up alongside the 100 free pulls promotion. Here are all the Zenless Zone Zero codes you need to get started in the latest update.
When is the Zenless Zone Zero 1.1 release date? Now that ZZZ is finally here, it's time to start looking ahead to what future updates have in store for us. HoYoverse has already begun the drip marketing for new characters and dropped a few hints at how the story might continue following the events of version 1.0. If you're already saving up your Polychrome, we've got a full itinerary of everything coming to HoYoverse's urban fantasy in the next update.
ZZZ 1.1 is the first major update to hit the gacha game following the Zenless Zone Zero release date, and there are major developments coming to New Eridu. So, here's all the latest news from the official Zenless Zone Zero 1.1 livestream, including brand-new characters for our Zenless Zone tier list, banners, and more.
Blizzard has updated its new Diablo 4 patch notes ahead of the imminent Season 5 launch, and while there's a lot to be excited for there might be a little sad news for some players. In its August 1 developer update, Blizzard showcased a lot of bold upgrades coming in the next season, proving it's not resting on its laurels ahead of the Vessel of Hatred DLC. Its latest update, however, does rein in some of the strongest items we saw during the recent Season 5 PTR, and there's disappointing, if perhaps expected, news for Necromancers.
We started our Baldur's Gate 3 adventure one year ago. It's been 365 days since the launch on August 3 2023. One trip around the sun. In that time, Larian's magnum opus has cemented itself as not just one of the best RPGs ever made, but the best videogames period. I know people who've barely picked up a gamepad or mouse and keyboard fall in love with the characters and world, and I'm sure you do too. BG3 exceeded everyone's expectations, and 12 months later it's still going strong on Steam.
What are the Zenless Zone Zero banners? If you're looking to expand your roster of playable agents, then wishing on banners is your best bet. These digital gacha machines form the basis of developer HoYoverse's monetization strategy, and they should be instantly familiar to anyone who's dipped into Genshin Impact or Honkai Star Rail.
Zenless Zone Zero includes several event banners that offer the chance to pull characters, weapons, and Bangboo. Banners rotate regularly, so it's important to think strategically about whether to spend your ZZZ Polychrome on the current banner, or hold off until the next one. The ZZZ 1.1 banners include brand-new agents that can shake-up your Zenless Zone Zero team comps, so get set to start spending in HoYoverse's urban gacha game. Here's who you can pull in Zenless Zone Zero banners.

Alongside the release date reveal for Fate/stay Night Remastered, Aniplex and Type-Moon revealed Fate/hollow Ataraxia Remastered will appear on the Switch and PC. Like its predecessor, it is also confirmed for a worldwide English release.
Few details are available about the remaster of Fate/hollow Ataraxia. The confirmation is that it is now in development, with no release window set. When it does appear worldwide, it will be via Steam. A first trailer did show up to hint at things to come. However, it only focuses on environments and teasing the events of the title.
Here's how that reveal video for the Switch and PC versions of Fate/hollow Ataraxia looks:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCiyflcEDv8
Fate/hollow Ataraxia is a sequel to the original Fate/stay Night set after the Holy Grail War and its events. In addition to Shirou playing a prominent role, it also introduces fellow Masters Bazett Fraga McRemitz and Caren Hortensia and the Servants Avenger and Lancer. While the original game appeared on multiple platforms, that didn't happen for the sequel. Following its debut on PCs in Japan in 2005, it took almost 10 years for a PlayStation Vita version to appear.
Fate/hollow Ataraxia Remastered is in development for the Nintendo Switch and PC. The original game is available in Japan on the Vita and PC.
Type-Moon and Aniplex announced the Fate/stay Night Remastered English Switch and PC release date, and it's sooner than people might expect. We'll see the digital copies appear on storefronts on August 8, 2024.
To go along with the release date announcement, a Fate/stay Night Remastered trailer appeared that highlighted some of the most important characters and Servants in the game. It begins by introducing the Holy Grail War proper and briefly explaining why the Magi and their Servants are fighting. It's then that Saber and Shirou Emiya are briefly scene, highlighting him potentially being "a champion of justice" and her assisting him.
From there, the video focuses more on the specific characters. It starts by showing Saber and her devotion. CGs of her in quieter moments and while fighting Lancer appear. From there, we see fellow Magus Rin Tohsaka. Her Servant Archer also shows up in that segment. Rin's introduction is followed by Sakura Matou's. The segment for her highlights some elements that may be a bit more of a spoiler for people. Certain Servants are also teased during those moments.
The end of the video focuses on some details going over what to expect from the Fate/stay Night Remastered Switch and PC English release. This entry is based on the Fate/stay night Realta Nua version. There is now a 16:9 resolution with HD images. Also, in addition to Japanese and English, Simplified Chinese is available for subtitles.

Fate/stay Night Remastered will come to the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam worldwide on August 8, 2024. It is also available on the PS2, Vita, and mobile devices in Japan.
Looking to grab some packs of the latest Pokemon Trading Card Game expansion, Scarlet & Violet — Shrouded Fable? This summer's special set is small and specialized, so it's an especially good idea this time around to know what you're getting into before you buy. So here's our attempt to help: a rundown of the best Shrouded Fable cards, regardless of what criteria you're using.
The coolest Shrouded Fable Pokemon cards
If you're interested in Shrouded Fable, it has to be about the Loyal Three and Pecharunt, taking center stage here. This whole set is about Okidogi, Munkidori and Fezandipiti, and poisoning their food with mind control. (You know, when we type it out like that, it seems like a weird theme for a game kids play?)
And they get a ton of art treatments. The base ex versions look nice on the table together, with their binding mochi motif and consistent visual style. There are two separate full art versions of each, and Pecharunt ex even gets a gold version. Their regular forms from the last expansion get Illustrator Rare variants, too. Given the quantity of these and the set's small size, you're bound to quickly pull at least a couple of these in boosters.
The most meta-relevant Shrouded Fable cards
We're not sure this will be a big set for the competitive scene, but we could see some cards seeing play! Like Bloodmoon Ursaluna, which is a 150 HP Basic with a three-energy attack and an ability to get two extra energy cards from your hand onto it when it hits the bench. Its attack, Mad Bite, starts at 100 and adds 30 for each damage counter on a foe, so it can two-hit almost anything and really wreck opponents if you've got some damage manipulation.
United Wings decks get a new option in Dartrix, for what that's worth? And Iron Moth and Slither Wing arrive fashionably late for Future and Ancient decks, respectively. But we're not sure either will make a huge splash, honestly.
New Supporter Cassiopeia, appropriately, is a Computer Search of sorts. Searching your deck for any two cards could be huge! The drawback is that you have to empty your hand first, and we know competitive types love to keep resources in reserve, but you do have the option of holding onto those two finds once you have them.
Finally, there are three new ACE SPEC options: Dangerous Laser, which burns and confuses the opponent; Neutralization Zone, which protects normal creatures from ex and V foes; and Poke Vital A, a 150-damage heal.
The most interesting Shrouded Fable Pokemon cards
Usually we're talking about game mechanics in this section, but since Shrouded Fable is such a collector-based set, we're finding most interesting just how many powerful Pokemon that would usually be rares are found in the uncommon slot. Decidueye, Iron Moth, Sylveon, Slither Wing, Yveltal, Genesect and Kyurem could all have been rares in other sets. That does make opening a pack feel a bit more fun.
In terms of interesting gameplay mechanics, it's a bit tougher to find, but we like thinking about strategies with Revavroom ex. This Tera creature is a big beefy attacker like you'd expect, but its second attack? Shattering Speed, a 250-damage attack that discards itself. Note that it doesn't knock itself out, so you could potentially tank hits or transfer a bunch of damage to it, then have it disappear from play in a boom without giving your opponent any Prizes. It's probably too much effort to set up, but it's an intriguing idea.
The cutest Shrouded Fable cards
A set primarily themed around using dark powers to possess creatures and make them evil might not seem like the best one for those seeking cute li'l buddies. And… that's true! There's both a smaller card pool and a smaller segment of friendly pals than in most releases. Still, there are a few cards of note. You've got your Rowlet, your Horsea, your Axew and your Eevee, all at their default very high levels of cute. That's about it, though!
